Firestopping is an essential engineering measure often overlooked in building
design, construction and maintenance. It’s required to seal perimeter
building joints and through penetrations at fire-rated walls, floors,
and ceilings to provide a barrier against the spread of fire, smoke and
toxic gas.
No matter what industry you’re in, there’s no denying
that aesthetics are part of the equation. From architecture to interior
design, the importance of aesthetics is highly emphasized. Yet, that
same aesthetic design can be overlooked when it comes to firestopping.
